Weekly Gems

I’d like to take a page out of the book of one of my favourite writers, Joshua Becker of Becoming Minimalist. Each weekend, I’d like to give you some insight into what I’ve been reading, doing, or trying. Topics will commonly fall into the categories about which I blog: minimalism, life, veganism, and even tech (I am the Vegan Sikh Geek after all!)

Prepare a cup or mug of your favourite warm beverage and have a read and listen. Peace and blessings
